javascript cookie :: "new to me"

x1024 · 12-23-2005, 03:18 PM

hi'all im new around here tho ive been following website abstration since 1997
even im still no-good with javascript haha

im having this problem where im really confuse about cookie setting
you see i want this "new to me" script to act upon each single item
for example http://www.sleepingforest.co.uk/cyril/videocollection

you can see that in the playlist this "new to me" is working fine to tell the user which video is new
but i don't want the "new" to go away when the page is refreshed
i want the "new" to go away only when the user is clicked on the link

obviously im ending up with a mess in a later version
i'd love to have someone telling me where i can dig in to get it up and running

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>chinese list :: video collection :: sleeping forest</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=en-us">
<STYLE type=text/css>
body {margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0; width:100%;height:100%;overflow:hidden}
BODY A:visited {	FONT: 8pt verdana, arial,san serif; COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
BODY A:link {	FONT: 8pt verdana, arial,san serif; COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
BODY A:hover {	FONT: 8pt verdana, arial,san serif; COLOR: #b4b5f0; TEXT-DECORATION: underline}
